Most aren't old enough to have seen him

i reckon also the ethos of the thread is to pick an xi from guys who perform exceptionally well in certain conditions
otherwise you'd just have every team with bradman, mcgrath, sobers, maybe one or two of the historical openers, maybe smith, and so on, would ruin the sorta fun lol

Nah even with his home record, there’s a considerable difference between the insane genius that is Pant and Dhoni as far as batting goes.
Could argue the same for keeping, but Pant is definitely getting better

Dhoni averaged 46 at home. Even if Pant continues at this level, which is unlikely, Dhoni's batting output is about the same in these conditions. And his keeping is much better. With the ball spitting and turning, keeping low, bouncing high, having a better keeper like Dhoni would be worth more even if Pant averaged 100 with the bat
If you're picking a team overall, for all conditions, that's different but with these specific parameters in mind Dhoni is surely the choice

In the same team as Warne? Could be fireworks

Bet on England to win that 1981 Ashes test when they were 500-1 outsiders.

Stephen Fleming????
First of all he was a middle order bat (not an opener), 2nd you should pick him on a bunsen vs Murali (awesome record in Asia esp SL) but terrible at home in NZ. Change Fleming to Mark Richardson for a green top.
